12 crews tackle Thurrock field fire
By Neil Speight 22nd Jul 2022
TWELVE teams of firefighters tackled a field blaze in Aveley this afternoon and early evening (Friday, 22 July) battling flames for around three hours.
The alarm was raised when a fire was spotted in a field adjacent to Sandy Lane at 3.45pm.
On arrival, crews confirmed there was a fire near a farm, which was spreading quickly across dry grass which surrounded it. Essex and London firefighters worked hard to stop the fire spreading further across fields, with four fire crews initially attending before more fire engines were called to ensure the fire could be surrounded quickly.

The fire was out by 6.20pm, with crews working to extinguish the remaining hotspots. No-one was injured.
The cause of the fire will be determined once the scene has fully cooled.
